How to Estimate a Software Project

Estimates are important for setting expectations. Clients need to be comfortable with the potential cost of a project before they commit to it. This article will walk you through the estimation methodology we use, day in day out, at Scalable Path.

Save time with our pre-built project templates

We’ve done some of the hard work for you by building templates for common software project types. Select the template that most closely resembles your project as a starting point, then modify it to match your requirements.

Important Tips

The Team section is where you select and add team members, along with their hours and hourly rates. If you’re working in a purely Agile way, that may be all you need.

By setting the duration of the project, you can see what a given team is likely to cost you over the length of the entire project.

If you need deeper analysis to know what you're getting into, you will likely want to break down the project into tasks. You can use one of our pre-built project templates to speed up this process.

Tasks - help

Breaking down a project into small pieces is a helpful way of understanding the scope and the team members needed for each item. Enter each known to-do item and the estimated hours needed by each team member. The 2 character abbreviation corresponds with the team member you entered in the table above.
